Synopsis

Ezra and Commander Sato are captured when a new Imperial weapon—an experimental Interdictor cruiser—generates a gravity well strong enough to pull ships out of hyperspace. Hera sends Kanan, Rex and Chopper to rescue them, using a stolen shuttle, stormtrooper armor, and Rex's knowledge of Imperial codes and protocols to infiltrate the cruiser. Ezra and Chopper head to the reactor to sabotage the cruiser, but Rex is captured as he and Kanan escort Sato and his crew to their shuttle. Kanan heads back to rescue Rex and they deploy an escape pod, as Chopper's sabotage causes the gravity well projectors to overload, pulling the other Imperial cruisers towards the Interdictor and destroying it.

This animated television series is set during the nineteen-year time-span between the films Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

The series was previewed with four shorts in August 2014 and a full-length film pilot episode premiered on Disney Channel on October 3, 2014.

A second season was green-lit in 2014.
